" Feel Her Love " is the first time this season that it's felt like knowing the source material would be helpful.

So much happens so quickly, it's genuinely a little disorienting, even if you've played the games.

The episode revisits the show's most substantial change from the video game.

In the PlayStation version of The Last of Us , the cordyceps infection spreads via spores.

" Feel Her Love " is an abrupt ending that is controversial by design.

The episode's home stretch suddenly pivots to Ellie 's hunt for Nora ( Tati Gabrielle ) It's a dark, uncomfortable turn.

The show is truncating large swathes of The Last of Us that aren't plot heavy.
